Flin Flon School Division is pleased to have been one of the 33 Manitoba Divisions chosen to participate in the Elders and Knowledge Keepers pilot project.  This new program supports the inclusion of First Nations, Metis and Inuit histories, culture, traditional values, life styles and knowledge in the provincial curricula.  The Division received a small grant which was enough to spark interest and to move forward with this great opportunity.  The government is investing 275 thousand dollars in this pilot program which will be assessed for further implementation.  The Flin Flon School Division will be reporting back to the government later this month on the projects progress.  Local Elders will be participating in all of the Division’s schools.
